The following is a list of housemates from the ninth series of Big Brother UK.

Alexandra Justine "Alex" De-Gale (born 4 August 1984) is an accounts clerk from Croydon, South London. Alexandra is a single mother who became pregnant when she was 15 years old; she has a daughter. She was raised as a Christian but converted to Islam. Alexandra describes herself as quirky, outgoing and a go-getter, and hates to be bored. In an interview that aired during the launch show, she told Big Brother that "I am not an It girl, I am 'it'." At Mario and Stephanie's "wedding" in week one, Alexandra was the only housemate to object, having correctly identified the marriage as a sham. She created a large amount of controversy owing to her aggressive nature and was accused of bullying. She very quickly became the least popular housemate among viewers and during the first eviction night many of the crowd were chanting "Get Alex out!" despite not even being up for the public vote. She was ejected on day 14, not as a result of a public vote but because of the producers and Channel 4 deciding her behaviour had been unacceptable. After being nominated, she apparently threatened fellow housemates, saying: "I'm not throwing water at anyone. It's bigger than that... personal offence is never forgotten, do you know what I mean? We are just inside the house. I've got a very, very, very, very, very strong team outside the house. I just can't wait to see my mans and them and see what their plans are, who they got... I'm not talking about those mans, I'm talking about my gangster friends. They got some instructions to follow out." Neither she nor Dennis were allowed to appear on the final night with the rest of the housemates. As of 2013, Alexandra is pursuing a LLB (Hons) Degree at the University of Greenwich.

Belinda Harris-Reid (born 7 April 1964) is a theatre director from Exeter, Devon. Belinda is married with two sons. She was born in Kampala, Uganda but moved to Malawi before she was one year old, where her father founded the Chancellor College, University of Malawi. She lived in East Africa until the age of 11. Belinda loves jazz singing and being by the sea. Belinda was the fifth housemate to be evicted on Day 44 with 65% of the public vote, after just two weeks of being in the house. During Belinda's eviction, filming took place for the E4 horror series Dead Set.
